On March 27, 2024, Taizhou Bay New Area Airport commenced operations and signed a general aviation project. Honeycomb Aerospace, an enterprise dedicated to research, development, and production in the low-altitude domain, lent a touch of brilliance to the launch ceremony of Taizhou Bay New Area Airport. At this landmark moment, we witnessed the convergence of technology and innovation. This event will also mark an important milestone in the development of Taizhou Bay New Area Airport.
The low-altitude economy is one of the important engines of future economic development, and Taizhou Bay New Area, as an important base of the UAV industry, has been committed to building a new general aviation industry platform in Taizhou, actively promoting the innovation and application of UAV technology, and also attaching great importance to the development of the low-altitude security industry. This launch not only marks a solid step taken by Taizhou Bay New Area in the development of the low-altitude economy, but also provides broader development space for the enterprises within Taizhou's aerospace industry platform.
At this launch ceremony, Honeycomb Aerospace was not only a participant, but also signed the general aviation project, demonstrating its innovative ability and forward-looking planning in the industry. With the landing of the general aviation project, Honeycomb Aerospace will bring more innovative technologies and advanced equipment to Taizhou Bay New Area Airport, injecting new vitality into the development of the aerospace industry.
Li Wei, chairman of Honeycomb Aerospace, introduced to the leaders the company's SU-50 intelligent unmanned airport and HC-540 vertical takeoff and landing fixed-wing UAV, as well as the remarkable results achieved in a number of industry applications. This will also bring broader room for imagination for the future development of Taizhou Bay New Area Airport.
The SU-50 intelligent unmanned airport is composed of an intelligent inspection UAV and an intelligent UAV parking cabin. It has a maximum endurance time of 85 minutes, a load capacity of 1.5 kilograms, an operating radius of 50 kilometers, and a ceiling of 4,000 meters. And the system has advantages in the industry such as remote control, autonomous charging, autonomous take-off and landing, and clustered autonomous operation, providing users with efficient and convenient application methods and the optimal solution for long-distance banded application scenarios such as road inspection, power inspection, oil pipeline inspection, and river environment inspection.
HC-540 is a large vertical takeoff and landing fixed-wing UAV with universal mounting capability. It adopts a hybrid power system with a maximum endurance of 6 hours, a load capacity of 30 kilograms, and a ceiling of 5,000 meters. It can carry different task loads to complete regularized inspection, 2D/3D aerial survey and other tasks. The platform has the ability of fully autonomous flight.
The "debut" of Honeycomb Aerospace at the launch ceremony of Taizhou Bay New Area Airport is the beginning of Honeycomb Aerospace and Taizhou Bay New Area Airport's joint exploration of the aerospace industry. In the future, Honeycomb Aerospace will continue to be committed to the innovation and research and development of air-ground-space integrated drones, and keep introducing more advanced and intelligent drone products and services. At the same time, Honeycomb Aerospace will work hand in hand with Taizhou Bay New Area Airport to jointly promote the prosperity and development of Taizhou's aerospace industry!
